Settling puddle

I still remember the times that were,
it hurts my feelings not being there.
It’s a new time now and life’s moving on,
but a part of me wishes it wasn’t gone.

I cherish the memories, I don’t cherish her,
I don’t hold a grudge, but she made me a blur.
Never will I again let her get close to my heart,
she was not the person I thought I had sought.

Now that I’ve left her, I don’t feel blue,
she ruined my plans, but I’ve got things to do.
I feel so relieved for what I’ve done,
my life has become, once again, fun.

I feel the strongest I’ve ever been
and with my friends I feel so seen.
My anxiety’s now much weaker,
of new connections I’m a seeker.

Something new has come and is taking hold:
a feeling of self-worth that’s becoming bold.
I’m not so bad. I’m not making me sad,
enjoying my time, for that I’m glad.
